I am rushing some things as I need to get ready for our last party for the year. It will just be a casual party and Ane need not bring out his lapel pins to show off, LOL! We actually decided on wearing just jeans, but must be jazzed up. And the party will be at the Luis house, so it is really a pretty laid back get-together. I have no jeans that fit me anymore, so I am going to wear a maxi dress instead :)

I hear the husband calling me already so I need to go now. Will tell you more about it later :)

We got back from our six-day vacation last night. Our flight going back to Manila was a bit delayed. I was too tired to turn on my laptop and get back on track on my online responsibilities. First three nights were spent in the island of Boracay (our second trip there this year, woah!) then we went to Iloilo, by land, and spent 2 nights there. We do not have that many pictures to document this trip but the memories will surely stayed etched in our minds because it was one different Christmas celebration. It was so different we plan to do it every year!

Let me just compose my thoughts and I will blog more about this trip. I have got a lot of backlogs to do!

This is a scheduled post because I am not sure if I will still be able to go online, or if I will have enough time to blog…

By the time this is posted, we’re probably enjoying paradise already :) And just because we will be on vacation does not mean my heart does not go out to those affected by the floods in Mindanao. Let us continue to pray for our fellow countrymen.

Our hectic schedule has commenced. It has been one crazy weekend and we are just starting. But at least we are able to attend to all our commitments, and more. It will get even more crazy tomorrow when my BIL and nephew arrive for their vacation. Two days more and we are done with two major events. Then we are off to our family get-away. I can’t wait to relax and soak in a clawfoot tub. That will be soothing and awesome, I expect. :)

Another calamity has hit the Philippines. This time, the country was struck down south. Typhoon Sendong’s wrath was felt in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan. Over the weekend, a friend tweeted that her pregnant sister, her husband and their dad had to leave their house and go to higher ground (bless the neighbor who let them stay in their house) because the house got suddenly flooded. They were not able to save anything except for a few articles of clothing :( And then we hear of hundreds of deaths and thousands missing people. They were all caught unaware of the flood, it all happened too fast and into the night.

The death toll is rising. People are getting hungry and sick. Clean water is running out. Every help counts.

Since my BIL and nephew are arriving soon, my mom is thinking of exporting scrubs and medical uniforms to SJ. It is cheaper if someone is flying out instead of having the stuff shipped to the US. My sister said they have limited choices for these uniforms so we’re thinking of taking advantage of that. Problem is, we are running out of time and we have not found a good supplier or maker yet. Maybe we need to do better planning next time, huh?
